Elijah Mitchell to carry the load in Week 2 for 49ers

Sep 19, 2021

49ers RB Elijah Mitchell is expected the carry the load in Week 2 against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact:

Not surprising after Mitchell rushed for over 100 yards last week against the Lions after Raheem Mostert went down with what turned out to be a season-ending knee injury. Trey Sermon and JaMycal Hasty will see some work, but it will be Mitchell in the lead role as the 49ers visit Philadelphia. Mitchell checks in at No. 23 in our half-PPR rankings.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Mike Garafolo

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
